Appmuse

The abundance of controls can be intimidating at first, but once you start using the app you’ll find it’s easy to use. The ways in which it can alter the original sound are amazing. A simple spoken phrase can turn into all sorts of ambient textures. Show more

I can’t believe I’m just now reviewing this app. It was one of my first audio apps for iOS that completely opened up my imagination to what’s possible with surreal sound sculpting. This developer is one of my longtime favorites and all of his apps are stellar. I own all of them! FieldScaper was superb when I first bought it years ago, and it just keeps getting better and more refined. Highly recommended!!! Show more

I had previously written a 4-star review of this ap because it is a very creative and innovative approach to sound design. I really LIKED it (just as I have really liked all of the aps by this developer). HOWEVER ...suddenly my FieldScaper on both my iPads was broken. I have FieldScaper on two iPads: an iPad 4 running iOS 10 and an iPad Pro 12.9 “ running iOS 11.2.1. On BOTH iPads for reasons unexplainable by modern science, FieldScaper would not load any stored “Scenes” (the combination of audio files and preset effects). When I tried, nothing would change - all of the files and presets remain unchanged regardless of which Scene I tried to load. No one else seems to have had this problem. The developer tried to solve the problem, but apparently could not duplicate it. Kudos for the effort... That was THEN this is NOW ... All that has changed with the latest version. With the 2.0+ releases, this problem has been fixed. I have still lost all my previous presets and all audio files (both factory and my own). But now I can confidently create new materials and actually save them. The additions in this version are also a great advance and push my opinion of FieldScaper solidly into the five star range. The parametric EQ sequencers (three - one for each “oscilator”) and new synchronizing abilities have elevate FieldScaper beyond its previous status as one of the most innovative music aps available.

This brings new and exciting features to Fieldscaper and the possibilities might be endless.Keep up the good work.

I have never written a review of an app as I have never been impressed enough to act as a salesperson on behalf of a company that sold me a product. If it works perfectly as described, good, that is what it is supposed to do. Anyone can read the description and expect a fair transaction, professional reviewers exist to tell you more details. In this sole instance, I simply can no longer ignore my moral compulsion to act as an emissary to the world of artists on behalf of this app and developer. Igor Vasiliev is a literal genius. This is the next level, it’s god-tier, we’re flying in the 5th-dimensional app dreamscape here. For a field recorder to collect environmental samples alone (my original goal with this) it is brilliant, I would have been thrilled...but...then there is the warping, the looping, the midi control, the insane amount of detail and information and freedom of control...I honestly do not get how one app at this price can simply ruin all others available from the big names at much higher prices. It seems like it works with everything, hardware and software. It is a muse, a creative world unto itself. Is Mr. Vasiliev a wizard? An alien visitor? A saint? Try the app and come to your own conclusions, the truth is out there. I won’t claim to be any sort of authority on sound or a brilliant artist myself, but I have worked in several DAWS and used a wide variety of gear and instruments over the years. I know when something is quality. You can trust me when I tell you that after five minutes in this app you will whisper under your breath “...sick..just sick..this beautiful sonuva...” If you have the slightest interest in sampling, looping, or experimenting with sound in general, buy this. May fortune forever bless you, Mr. Vasiliev. I am going to go buy Synthscaper right now. Show more

I'm not going to write a long review. If you're interested in sound, field recording, ambient music, or any kind of sonic experimentation, you really should buy this. It's as indispensable as Paulstretch or granular processing. Show more

Really hoping for an iPhone X update. Love this app more than any other vocal samplers though. Must But!

This is easily one of the most well-thought out, intuitive, and capable noise/music apps I’ve seen. Requests to developer for help have been quickly answered. I, too, hope it is supported in perpetuity. Show more

I guess the software was acting weird for a bit when I was trying to make a new track after a long period of artist block, but after a few relaunches of the app everything worked as expected. This is an extremely intuitive app which allows me to create rich and full tones of other worldly origins. Almost every parameter can be modulated with lfo's allowing a generative movement of drones fading in and out, morphing, and decaying. I love this app to death. I am completely satisfied with this purchase after so many year (it's only really been like 2, but still). I hope this app is supported for the years to come. Show more

Performance Loopers: i've tried them all and this is my favorite (quantiloop is also cool). The creative expressions possible are amazing. Plus very musical and intuitive, clearly made by a musician. You have to take the time to learn the layout (see YouTube). Use a guitar through Midi Guitar 2 to control it along with a BT pedal while using the guitar or your presets as sound elements. I love it! Show more

Love this app. Recently added an iPad to my arsenal of guitar effects. This is one I am getting a lot of use out of. Plus, it has sparked my interest in collecting recordings of ambient and environmental sounds. Show more

Deep, but accessible; I find myself using this far more often than Fieldscaper. It has an organic weirdness to it...and that's good.

Great for making the most insane sounds truly awesome

My wife has me running up and down stairs and doing all this nonsense, so I barely have a second to myself. I just did a tiny sound sample so I didn't wake my in-laws either. The result was sinister, original and wild. I am going to have a field day with this, BitWiz and Dedalus. Can't wait to do more with it. Show more

I don't give 5 stars easily, this app is one of my personal favorite tools (hardware or software) for sound design. Keep up the good work.

Before SoundScaper and FieldScaper, achieving audio results like one can with those apps was a major undertaking. Not so anymore. This app was great to begin with and it gets better all the time. If you want to explore the very limits of audio, you've come to the right place. Show more

A dream come true. Dev's a genius. Thanks for this application.

Like I said this app is very intriguing to me as a music producer. This allows me to manipulate audio in new ways. But a few questions: How do I record into GarageBand from Fieldscraper? Seems I can't choose Fieldscraper as an IAA from GarageBand. How exactly does the internal recorder work? I press the "R" button but I can't get into record with the effects. Can I record myself manipulating the OSC from inside the app? Is this what the internal recorder is for? (Revamping) Show more

Some great new features provide more possibilities than were already available. Easy to make unique soundscapes ... I love it. Thanks, Igor!

...then this app will be a godsend. Seriously. Like, you'll probably never need to venture outside of the preset list to get amazing ambience and fx.
